The semester is well underway and we’ve had some brilliant events so far! On Friday, 11th March, 96 first years collected in front of Fisher to depart for the adventure of a lifetime (even thought they wouldn’t remember much of it) aka our renowned First Year Camp! The weekend brought with it tales of goon guzzling, cross-dressing, goanna spotting, The Great SASS Invasion and, of course, being covered head-to-toe in questionable substances found only in the depths of Challenge Valley. As many partied on well into the early hours, new ‘friendships’ began to form (based on mutual interests and drunkenness), which we hope will survive for many years to come…

O-Week 2016 was a busy week – First Year Camp spots SOLD OUT by Thursday, we almost sold all of our BBQ t-shirts (the remaining ones will be available at our BBQ next week) and most importantly we had about 600 people sign up for 2016 membership! A big thanks to everyone who came by our stall and congratulations to all the new members who are now part of one of THE greatest societies on campus. Keep an eye out for Aqua Regia, our newsletter, which will update you all on our upcoming events!

Ever needed someone to look up to or somebody you could ask that question about University life that you never knew who to ask? Well you could be that person. The Science Faulty is currently looking for volunteer mentors for the First Year Transition Program. SciSoc has always been a strong supporter of this program and next year we hope it to be better than ever.
